Sustainability and Community Initiatives
We take pride in preserving Zanzibar’s natural beauty and supporting our local communities, as we are committed to eco-friendly practices.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, through initiatives such as reusable glass water bottles, solar panels for energy efficiency, and reducing food waste by repurposing surplus ingredients. By embracing these practices, we aim to create a lasting positive impact on both the environment and the local community, ensuring a better future for Zanzibar.
Our Brand
Joud, in Arabic [جُود] means generosity, inspired by the generosity of heritage, nature and human stories.
That is why we are committed to providing our guests with everything they need to thrive, from a calming atmosphere, space to stretch and move, a place to be entertained, somewhere to relax and wind down to experiences, all packaged in an exotic themed concept that take our guests beyond today’s reality.
"WE BELIEVE IN BALANCE,
HARMONY
AND MINDFULNESS."
Brand Values & Beliefs
Our deeply rooted values and beliefs are subtly felt in every element of the Joud by the Sea Zanzibar experience. From check-in to check-out and from the design of the rooms to the dishes on the menu, and everything else in between, we provide an all-encompassing sense of calm, comfort, mindfulness and balance.
Positive beginnings
First impressions count.
The Joud experience begins at ‘Hello’; we welcome our guests smoothly and efficiently, with real warmth and positivity. The holistic experience that guests are offered on sets the tone for their stay: we are invested in a story that our guests can walk into and live minute-by-minute.
A sense of escapism
At Joud by the Sea Zanzibar, we offer our guests a story that they can escape to.
We believe in providing all they need to relax, rejuvenate, connect with their surroundings and leave the stresses and strains of everyday life behind. This sense of rejuvenation, harmony and personalization is felt across all our spaces, from the deliberately cohesive hotel design to the soothing color palette seen throughout.
The importance of connecting
Our brand is personable, proactive and energetic.
We love to start conversations and drive action and are engaged and invested in the mindfulness of our guests. But most importantly we believe in the power of connecting to nature. This relationship is symbiotic, where our guests draw inspiration and rejuvenation from the natural world, while also contributing back through our “Thank You, Nature” initiatives.
Our Passions
We firmly believe that a stay at Joud by the Sea Zanzibar should be a fully immersive one.
From tastes to smells, sights to sounds, we take our guests on a sensory journey, sharing the things that excite and delight and ensuring that our space feels like a mysterious story to explore.
Art
Our carefully curated art collection is a further expression of our personality and is intended to charm and inspire our guests. We hope it will spark conversations, incite passions and help make memories.
Music
Our thoughtfully put-together playlists are a reflection of the persona of any of our Joud collection. While the music may vary depending on the concept, it is always intended to further enhance the guests’ experience in a way that we hope feels truly personal.
Ambience
Regardless of whether guests want to hunker down and switch off, embark on an invigorating adventure, embrace family life to the full, enjoy some much-needed alone time or focus on work, we have the capabilities and facilities to ensure that not only are their needs fulfilled, but that they leave us in exactly the right frame of mind that the hotel stands for.
Aromas
From the fresh, floral scent that characterizes the lobby, to the enticing smell of freshly brewed coffee in the mornings, we surround our guests with sophisticated aromas that not only subtly add to their experience, but also form lasting associations with our brand.
Food
For us, food is a delicious art form and offers an additional opportunity for impressing and delighting our guests. From beautifully presented breakfasts themed after the hotel concept to early evening nibbles prepared with care and decadent desserts, our passion for food shines through.
